Disenchantment

This project describes the psychological dynamic I encountered in confronting my identity as a woman. When teenagers are not aware of the things they find disgusting, they often hide their true emotions, and explore other ways of getting close to things to gain satisfaction.

My awareness of my identity and situation was blurred until I saw the pain and disgust I was enduring from the traces on my body. In this series of images, I have expressed the confusion and difficulty of the female condition. Women’s growth is isolated and performative, and their own struggle against being trapped in a cage. I also explored the sources of my own insecurities as a woman and my fear of unknown forces. In the image that conceals subjectivity, this is not only a dialogue about my past, but also a reflection and healing for everyone.
